Mine are getting started off early, or late...these darn things don't seem to have a real season anymore like they did when I used to breed them...20 years ago. I lost my snakes when my furnace went out while I was away, I didn't feel like getting more at the time because I didn't lose breeders, I lost my pets and nothing could replace them.

Here's the first pairings of my second time around at breeding ball pythons. The snakes look a bit different from the "high yellow" (bright normals) I used to breed, but they're still pets.

Darth Jackass (dinker) X Marilyn (pastel yb)




Mickey X Dorothy (pieds)




I'm planning on breeding each of these males to two females this season. The normal female won't be ready to breed again until next year--she'll be put in with Darth. I have a het pied who isn't interested at all right now, I'll be trying her later on with Mickey.

And now, I have to quit putting off building that incubator....
